The shroud didn't fit well with the fan so I removed it in this photo. You can see it in my previous posts (orange).

Also, I'm not a fan of the expensive fan 😏 but it is very quiet. Going to experiment with some other fans and the overall setup so I expect many changes soon.

Is #Bitcoin a Public Good?

In economics, a public good is defined as a good that is both non-excludable and non-rivalrous.

For a good to be non-excludable, it must be very difficult or impossible to exclude individuals from using it.

Bitcoin tends to fit this definition quite well, as it is one of the most accessible goods in the world. Anyone can participate in the Bitcoin network and use it for transactions or other purposes without needing permission, and it's challenging to prevent someone from downloading a Bitcoin wallet and acquiring some Bitcoin.

While technically it is not accessible by everyone due to availability and regulations of on/off ramps and internet availability #bitcoin more or less fits this definition.

For a good to be non-rivalrous, one individuals usage of the good cannot reduce its availability for others.

Once again #Bitcoin fits this definition quite well. Bitcoin, it is non-rivalrous to the extent that one person holding and using Bitcoin does not inherently reduce its availability for others. The blockchain technology underlying Bitcoin allows multiple users to transact simultaneously without significantly affecting each other's ability to use it. Bitcoin's divisibility also ensures there are more than enough satoshis to go around.

While one could argue increased fees in blockspace could lead to exclusion of some individuals, layer 2 protocols like the Lightning Network address these concerns quite well.

Overall, I think it's clear #Bitcoin is more a public good than it is not, especially when you consider it's truly global and decentralized nature alongside it's non-excludability and non-rivalrous attributes.

While it may not fit the definition perfectly, I think this points to the fact that #Bitcoin is fundamentally unique and novel. Many established definitions and concepts within economics and beyond struggle to encapsulate the groundbreaking essence that Bitcoin brings to the table.

Do you think #Bitcoin is a public good?

Now that I've had time to sleep on the "ZBD" issue. I feel that my reasoning yesterday for continuing to discuss this client wasn't so much about ZBD itself, it was because of me being shocked an appalled at the toxicity being sent towards ZBD users. We often say how the vibe on Nostr is different and how we embody positivity, but that hasn't been shown the last few days towards ZBD users.

It's okay to bash a client and securitize it's implementation of Nostr. This is how the protocol grows. However, it's not cool to do this towards brand new Nostriches. They didn't do anything wrong. They're mostly just people looking to play games and stack some sats. There's nothing wrong with that.

This should be a teaching moment for them. This should be a knowledge exchange. We do this for new Bitcoiners, right? We teach them about self custody. The same can be applied here. Instead of telling someone why you feel Coinbase isn't the solution for them, you can tell them why you feel ZBD isn't the solution for them.

Remember, we're trying to #grownostr here, so you need to explain everything in a cool and calm manner here. You could even write a long and precise guide so that you can just give them the noteID or link to the web site.

If we truly believe that Nostr is for everyone and Nostr is open, then we should do better and explain better. We're not toxic. We left that conversation on Twitter for a reason, because we want to build and change the future for the better.

I’m a big fan of small identity footprints. Treat them as they’ll be compromised eventually and be ready to discard without much care 🙌

Yea I used to do this every few days as I finish a bottle about 600ml in about 2 days or so. I think haven’t make cold brew for 6 months since becoming a father lol.

Your cold brew looks dark. I like to use light roast for my cold brew.

As a heads up, I’ve got some impersonators on Nostr now.

I will not message you to ask how your trades are going, lol.

I have an imposter on Nostr. 🤷‍♂️

With my handle @anita

What now?

How do people understand that this not me?

Didn’t know who it was. Thanks for giving me someone new to hate 😂

Tomato season is on

Our leaders, companies, governments and billionaires will continue down this path unless we do something about it. “It’s inevitable” is not an acceptable answer.

I’ll join Alejandro in deleting my personal twitter account 9/29 (probably before and purple pill along the way). The only thing that I hesitate about is to keep it to keep purple pilling? Idk?

We need a good hashtag for this. Who’s got one? nostr:note10hrdj2eaw34a5rtm8nyxg9jvmwvggxderzrafjxxhud2269khn6s0l4dnk
